It's a fletch contact issue. The Blazers are worse becasue they aren't giving when they hit. Get the contact issue resolved and you'll be fine.

- Move the rest all the way forward in the mount holes.
- Shoot cock fletch up.
- Put a bit more slack in the control cable (as little tension as possible to get the rest straight up at full draw).
- As a last resort: Use the taller rest prong (and adjust your nock point and peep accordingly).

I'm shooting full helical Blazers in my Hoyt single cam with this rest without any problems.

Wasn't you who also had issues and had one for sale? I thought sure it was you.

I had issues with it on my Old Glory (it didn't like having any tension on the down cable) but it works fine on my old Hoyt UltraTec single cam... don't recall if I was going to sell it or not but could be.

I like you also had awesome performance on two bows, it was just this one. It seems its hit or miss.

i was gonna put the qad pro on my x force 6 a few people i talked to liked em but half that tried them didn't really care for them and that really did not seem like good odds to me so i put the vapor trail limbdriver on my xf6 it only took a few arrows to tune with new site and it was shooting the same spot on the target the limbdriver seems to be a great rest............Ted

Ted, I agree, and that's why I say the Limb Driver is very consistent. Some of the others can be hit or miss.

a buddy of mine has a qad on a tribute and i asked him how he liked it and he told me he was having a problem with fletching contact thats why i went to the limbdriver because it was actually someone i knew personally that was having them problems plus the other reports,this limbdriver is sure different than most but works very well..........Ted

Do you have the LockDown model or the standard?
Iset minelike Kodiak did on the Blace Ice and Switchback I had. Not real tight on the cable at full draw and
cock vane was up, but "slightly inward" bc the standard model had bounce back off the shelf and with blazers that was the best I could get. it was sure a hit and miss on clearence.
When I switched to the Lock Down models I had no problem on any bow it was on.

I spent the last two daystrying to get my QAD to shoot well with bare shafts. Tried everything. I took off the upper bar because I was getting contact as well. I finally got it to shoot well afterI kept messing withit.I started off with feathers then went to balzers and it now shoots great especially with broadheads. Getting 100 grain Muzzy's shooting same place as field points. Even getting 125 grain Muzzy's shooting very well. I will add that I do not think I will ever buy another one. More trouble than it is worth for me.
